Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Summary
Trends Economic Hardship IndexThe economic hardship index compares financial strain between states. It combines six population-level social and economic measures to provide a more complete picture of the difficulties faced by communities than a single measure could provide.
Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.

Multiple Chronic ConditionsChronic conditions are medical conditions that last more than a year, require ongoing medical attention and/or limit activities of daily living. Adults with multiple chronic conditions represent one of the highest-need segments of the population.
